I just sent a comment to the station asking that they return DePetro to his show.
"For the record: She is fat and she is a lesbian."
- However, her picture shows that she has impeccable taste. After all, she chose a smock that is the spitting image of the material I picked for my kitchen table cloth.
She's also oogly.
DePetro ignored the first law of self preservation: You have to be worth more than the hassle you cause. Howie Carr got away (in 1995) with speculating that the Oklahoma City bombers were "ragheads".
He characterized Janet Reno's statement that they hadn't drawn any conclusions about the identity and motivations of the bombers as overly politically correct.
Howie's a star, a gold mine. DePetro is hardly worth listening to.
So much for honest reporting of the facts. Gees.
Who could get in trouble for such a euphonious description?
...
Okay, maybe that wouldn't have worked, either...
Grace Ross has been a life-long activist working with diverse, low-income leaders to abolish poverty and on progressive causes from nonviolence, the environment, and international solidarity to anti-racist struggles, women’s rights, union organizing and gay/lesbian civil rights. She grew up in New York, came to Harvard for college and graduate work and found her home in the streets and primarily low-income communities’ struggle for survival and justice. She is a white lesbian living in Worcester.
“In this time when so many of us have been made to feel despair and disempowered, our campaign is a call of renewal in the struggle for peace and justice, we cannot wait for leaders elected through our present corporate-driven system to fight for these ideals. We will fight for our dreams as we call on the people of this Commonwealth to fight for theirs. We must show our faith in ourselves and begin the process of building the road to a new beloved Commonwealth."
Yeah...what's up with that? One musn't speak the truth when a microphone is involved? Gimme a break.
So what did he get fired for --- calling her fat?
So I take it this would be the unfortunate lady that Dean "Soxblog" Barnett described on Hugh Hewitt's blog as having a gap between her front teeth that strongly resembles Leon Spinks'?
for the second time in as many days, I will say
"proving again that feelings are more important than the truth"
/ARGHGHH
She probably eats out too often.
Someone will have to change "Sticks and stone may break my bones but names will never hurt me." ...to something else like names will hurt me if I lose my job.
What happened to free speech? What is wrong with the truth? The woman admits she is a lesbian; she is fat also. This must be the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, a state where common sense must be checked at the border.
